Toronto, ON CA · www.colgatepalmolive.ca
Colgate-Palmolive Canada Inc. is the Toronto sales and distribution subsidiary of Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE: CL, New York), which owns the Irish Spring, Softsoap and Speed Stick trademarks. Its Canadian statutory filing describes 88 employees running a commercial office and warehouse, so everything on this shelf is imported, most likely from the parent's US and Mexican plants. Walmart Canada is the only grocer confirmed in stock.
Switch: Indirectly wholly owned by a single US public parent, Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE: CL), per its Form 10-K Exhibit 21 and the Canadian entity's own forced labour filing.
Factors
Ownership
0.0 verifiedUS 100%
Colgate-Palmolive Company is a Delaware corporation headquartered at 300 Park Avenue, New York, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, per the cover page of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025; Exhibit 21 of that filing lists Colgate-Palmolive Canada, Inc. as a subsidiary, and the Canadian entity's forced labour statement says it is indirectly wholly owned by the parent. The shareholder base is diffuse with no controlling holder in the filing, so ownership follows the US headquarters and listing venue. Corporations Canada holds only a historic Colgate-Palmolive Limited, amalgamated in 1976, so the current entity is provincially incorporated and the Ontario Business Registry could not be checked without a browser.

The Canadian entity's forced labour filing says its operations are a commercial office and warehouse and that it sells the same products as the rest of Colgate-Palmolive from the same regional supply chains, so nothing is made in Canada. The parent's 10-K places its major Oral, Personal and Home Care plants in Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee and, for the Americas, in Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil; The CANADA List records Speed Stick as made in Mexico and the US and Irish Spring as various. No product-level country of origin could be fetched for the Canadian SKUs, so the US and Mexico split is an estimate.

Colgate-Palmolive Canada Inc. reported 88 employees as of December 31, 2025 in its Canadian forced labour statement, and its safety data sheets give the company's address as Two Morneau Shepell Centre, 895 Don Mills Road, Toronto. The Canadian market team is therefore in Toronto; the filing is the company's own attestation rather than a registry record.

The parent's 10-K names tropical oils, tallow, essential oils and resins among its raw material commodities and its forced labour statement calls palm oil a priority risk area; the Irish Spring bar sold at Well.ca is a sodium laurate, oleate and palmitate soap, so its fats are largely tropical and count OTHER. Fragrance, surfactants and packaging for North American production are assumed US-sourced. No supplier country breakdown is published, so this split is an estimate.
